ARD 3 won't remember my serial number?

Hi everybody,
i just bought ARD 3. But every time I start ARD I have to type in the serial number. Is this a bug or a feature?
Please help me. I deleted all files and tried a new install but nothing helps. I also tried to install it on my PB but it's the same!
greets Robert

What Dave said is right, 1st time you use ARD 3 you've got to be logged in as an Administrator on your Mac. While you're there, in ARD preferences - if you need to - check that 'non-admin' users can send packages etc....
Then when you go back to using ARD 3 from a Standard A/c (as you should always be using your Mac from for security reasons anyway) you'll have full ARD functionality.
P.S. Took me a while to figure this out, but if you need temp Admin privilages from a Standard a/c, goto the Terminal and type 'su - Adminsitrator' [replace 'administrar' with the shortfrom name of an Admin user] and enter said password.
Your 'standard' account had now been escalated to Admin privalages until you next log-out.

  • Toshiba.co.nz Support page won't accept my serial number

    Hi Forumites,
    The Toshiba Support Centre at toshiba.co.nz > Support won't accept my serial number of my Satellite P840T as valid. And if I try and get to the downloads for my laptop, by entering a category of "Computers", the site just says "Loading Families..." on the next line down, and stalls forever.. something broken here.
    I also noticed that unless I have my browser security settings turned to the lowest possible settings, the Toshiba site (which obviously uses Cookies) won't remember me long enough for me to get from the login page to the "Post new Listing" link on the Forum home page. It asks me to log in again.
    I've tried two browsers, IE and Chrome, with the same results. I think the forum site is poorly designed if it won't work with default browser settings.
    Even with browser security settings turned to the lowest possible settings, the site still forgot who I was when I went from the Satellite P series forum to this one.
    Just some feedback on my experience with the forum so far.

    In the past I searched drivers using part number on second option and it worked perfectly. Maybe is there some problem with the page. Try few hours later. Who knows why this happen.

  • I got a new laptop. Downloaded PSE 7 from Adobe site. It won't recognize my serial number.

    I got a new laptop and downloaded PSE7 from the Adobe website. However, it won't recognize my serial number. I tried chat, they asked for the serial number and said it should work. But it doesn't. I type in the serial number and a red X shows behind the number

    I was on Adobe chat for over 45 minutes, agent said they were checking something and then I got a message that my chat session was ended.

  • Have Adobe Standard CS 5 (Student), and would like to upgrade to Creative Cloud (Non-Student) - won't accept my serial number for special pricing for existing users

    I currently use Adobe Standard CS 5. It was bought with the Education discount. I would like to upgrade to Creative Cloud and see that they have special pricing for existing customers that use past versions of Creative Suite. I am no longer in Education, so I will have to buy a full version. This is fine, but it won't accept my serial number for the discounted pricing. Is there something else I should be doing?

  • Photoshop Elements 6 won't accept my serial number... How do I fix this?

        I had to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop elements 6 to my Windows 7 computer because the brushes were glitching on me, and now it won't accept my serial number to register it to my computer. I received it from a bundle package when I installed my tablet back in 2008ish. The warning is "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet". I have retyped it several times to make sure I put the right number without any luck either.

  • PS CS6 won't accept my serial number

    I've downloaded and installed PS CS6 but it won't accept my serial number, whether I manually type it or copy it from my Adobe account page.  I get an error message saying "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  Am I going to have to download and install PS CS5 first to allow me to install CS6?

    Solved my own problem.  I just needed to enter the CS5 serial number.

  • CS6 Production Premium installed on my G5 but won't validate the serial number on my imac

    CS6 Production Premium installed on my G5 but won't validate the serial number on my imac? I'm sure you can install this version on 3 machines to use non simultaniously, why will it accept the serial on one machine but not another?

    No, you can only activate on 2 machines. The rest sounds fishy. A G5 by no means meets even the basic specs for any of the video programs du to not being intel and not being 64bit. Even PS wouldn't install on such a machine, so I'm slightly wondering what you actually installed or what machine you are referring to...

  • Trying to download and install CS6 on CC and it won't take the serial number for my Mac

    trying to download and install CS6 on CC and it won't take the serial number for my Mac

    Cloud products don't use serial numbers. That includes downloading CS6 through the Cloud (if that is what you're doing). Hence Ned's query.
    Install CS6 via your Cloud membership using the steps outlines here:
    Install a previous version of any Creative Cloud application

  • Won't accept my Serial number PSE11

    I'm trying to install PSE11 on a Windows XP machine.  It won't accept the serial number, I'm sure there is no typo.
    What do I do now?
    Carl

    My copy of PSE11 was already registered but I have installed it on two computers.  I thought that you could have it on 3 if you only used it one at a time.  I see that it is 2, so that is my problem.  I am trying to get an old program to work on an XP computer which will not run on my Windows 8.  The program requires that a copy of photoshop be available on the XP computer. I'll try to install a trial version on the XP so that I can run this test.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Won't match my Serial Number?

    the website registration form won't match my serial number so i called the apple store. They said this was a known problem and to mail in the registration form. I've been looking all over the site but i don't know where to find the print out form.
    Also does anyone know how long after i mail it in will it take to register. I want to be able to buy iLife '09 soon

    We don't have that information. You will need to contact AppleCare.
    The Apple Discussions is a user-to-user help site. We have no connection with Apple and cannot speak for their policies and procedures nor now how long it might take for them to register your computer once you send in the information.
    The registration card came with your computer.
